Rail travel on the Joetsu Shinkansen is significantly faster than regional buses, which can take over three hours due to traffic. There are no commercial flights between these locations as the distance is relatively short. The train provides direct city-center access, avoiding the airport transfers required for longer domestic routes. For speed and frequency, the Shinkansen is the primary choice for this corridor.

Plus, it’s a greener choice, reducing your carbon footprint
